I 've tried to install Skype in my Kubuntu version 12.04, but it will not even start to install. I took of course the .deb version (to be precise the file:
' skype-ubuntu_4.0.0.8-1_i386.deb '), made that file executable and double-clicked on it.
..... no reaction!...
What to do now? With the steps mentioned above I succeeded Skype to get installed and working in Ubuntu 12.04.
